While this commentary below includes a focus on an event, its ongoing focus is seen in the quoted comments of its purpose, a timely and neglected subject of discussion among evangelicals:
"Bridging the Political & Racial Divide: How Godly Politics Can Transform a Nation.” It is stated as “… an invitation to step into … the division between Black Evangelicals who are mostly Democrats and White Evangelicals who are mostly Republicans. It will lead you through Alice’s personal discovery about racism – the personal and corporate kinds, as well as the overt and the unconscious …”
Do you know of any serious efforts to address the subject in the context of racial reconciliation?
Below includes the focus on a St. Louis event of Monday, October 29, 2012 … and the radio discussion related to it … available for anytime listening: ********************

The broadcast spotlights a gathering on Monday evening, October 29th, open to the public, entitled “Bridging the Racial and Political Divide,” in the worship center of FBC of Ferguson. Guest leaders include Pastor C. L. Jackson, Historian David Barton, Alice Patterson (www.justiceatthegate.org), and Falma Rufus.
Host committee members – who appreciate FBC of Ferguson providing a nice location for their gathering — are Pastors Samuel and Yvonne Bailey, Tim Davis, Pastor Danny Holliday, and Pastor Stoney Shaw.
This group is taking on a difficult subject, but one that must be biblically and lovingly addressed. They are to be commended.
